We are a global team of experts, with more than 20 years experience in waste management. We established the D-Waste website in order to provide our services in a unique way.

We believe that sound waste management is a key-issue for the sustainability of the urban ecosystems.

We have learned that the bigger the city the more challenging the waste management is.We have worked in more than 20 countries, with different cultural, economic and social conditions.

Through our experiences we have understood that waste management solutions are only local. And although there are global principles, no city or country will face waste management challenges unless local human resources are prepared for that. And this is what we want to do through D-Waste.

D-Waste provides fully customised, affordable and high quality waste management services through a global network of experts that are available to support clients worldwide. We do believe that waste management solutions will be finally developed by local stakeholders, institutions, and human resources. For that purpose our aim is to provide suitable consulting to those who need it most.

D-Waste's philosophy and approach is simple: we want to make waste management consulting easily accessible and affordable for all those who need it. In that framework we deliver different services with the same concept: easy access and cost-effectiveness.

New report about toxic chemical levels in cell phones

Electronics manufacturers are fond of touting the ecological friendliness of their products, but objective attempts to measure the impact of such changes are few and far between. A new report from HealthyStuff.org aims to improve user visibility on this issue. The organization teamed up with iFixit to compare toxic chemical levels in 36 cell phones from Motorola, Samsung, RIM, Apple, LG, Nokia, and Palm.

The Ecology Center study looked at levels of toxins like mercury and lead in components such as the screen, solder and processor. Phones were ranked on a qualititative scale from "Low" to "Medium" to "High" and were also given a numeric rating from 2.6 (the lowest score) to 5.0 (the highest). Apple's latest mobile phone got a clean bill of health from organizations that studied toxics in mobile phones. The iPhones 4S and 5 were among only six phones with scores below 3.0, at 2.75 and 2.69, respectively. At 2.56, the Motorola Citrus clocked in with the lowest score. Also given top marks: the LG Remarq, the Samsung Captivate and the Samsung Evergreen. The vast majority of phones evaluated -- about two-thirds -- fell in the "Medium" category. The iPhone 4 just missed a "Low" ranking, as did the Samsung Reclaim and Galaxy S III.The study's worst rankings highlight the evolution of Apple's products over the last few years. The iPhone 2G, released in 2007, was given a solid 5.0, with high levels of bromine, mercury, chlorine, lead and other chemicals. Also in the 2G's company among phones with high scores: the Palm M125, the Motorola MOTO W233 Renew, the Nokia N95 and the BlackBerry Storm 9530.

Samsung phones had the highest average rating of all phones tested. While Apple showed the greatest improvement of any manufacturer in the study among phone models released in the last five years, none of the phones tested was free of toxic chemicals.

Among the changes manufacturers are making:• Using less hazardous resins to replace PVC in cabling and other applications• Avoiding the need for cabling through simplified design• Using mercury-free LCD displays and arsenic-free glass• Using bromine- and chlorine-free printed circuit board laminates• Moving to less toxic, reactive phosphorous-based flame retardant chemistries
